Growing up, I have always been an introvert. I was that kid that sat on the side lines watching everything around me. I enjoy observing the intricate details of life - the color, the smell, the personality, how people move in it, etc.
As I got older, that joy in details grew into an admiration for photography and the ability to tell a story in a single snap shot. So whenever I get a free moment to pick up my camera, I do it!
It's been a long time coming, but I am officially done with school (FOREVER, woot woot)! I'm a full time sonographer, working two jobs, trying to balance my career and my love for photography. I spend all day imaging people's insides and during my spare time I like to image people's outside :) Photography is one of my favorite past times, but with only so many hours in a day, it remains my hobby. Thus, I will be available for limited portrait sessions.

That's a little about me... now, tell me about you! I look forward to hearing from you.

I know a lot of photographers out there talk about the awesomeness of photographing a couple from their engagement to their first born, but I have to say that it's even that much better when the couple is one of your really good friends.

Tammi and I met through our husbands, but we've always had a good connection. San and Tammi are the kinds of friends that you don't get to see all the time, but when we do get together, we don't miss a beat. I know I can count of having a good time when we hang out.

Two years ago I photographed these two for their engagement and then their wedding a few months after. A few days ago, I got to photograph Tammi for her maternity shoot. Never mind that I had finals to study for, I was so excited to get these photos out of my camera and onto my computer. I think this my have been my record for the fastest I've edited and posted a session. Can you see why? These two never disappoint- always super stylish and super sweet. This goes down as one of my favorite maternity/portrait sessions to date. I love Tammi's light and airy dress and her long wavy hair with the soft back lighting. It was a yummy photo shoot, that's for sure.

Congratulations you two. You look beautiful as always. Love you lots. <3

Nine months ago, I was keeping a mental tally on how many of my friends were getting pregnant within a few short months of each other and the number got so outrageous, I lost count. LOL. I guess it comes with age.

Jessica is just one of my many friends to get pregnant this year and have her first born. A few weeks before Hudson came to this world, I got to spend some time photographing his mom and pop. Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet this little man soon.
